Specific directories containing commands and/or scripts can be added to the PATH by appending the
directories to the PATH in the .profile file.
For example, to automatically search a bin directory owned by the current user,
add the following code to the .profile file in the user's home directory.
if [ ${OLDPATH:-0} = 0 ]; then
export OLDPATH=$PATH
fi
export PATH=$OLDPATH:~/bin
